BIG BAND, SWING, TRAD JAZZ :[1955-1966] Billy Maxted is a name one seldom hears when super musicians are mentioned. Yet, he began his playing and arranging with the likes of none other than Red Nichols from 1937 to 1940. He also played and arranged for Ben Pollack, Teddy Powell and Will Bradley. After serving in the Navy, he provided arrangements for Benny Goodman and Claude Thornhill. In 1947 and 1948 he co-led a band with Ray Eberle. In 1961 his swing version of 'Satin Doll' was in the top of the Billboard charts. (Collective Personnel: Chuck Forsythe, Lee Gifford, Sal Pace, Charlie Treager, Sonny Igoe, Dan Tracy, Jack Lesberg, more)

BIG BAND, SWING, TRAD JAZZ :[1926-1928] Despite a music career that spanned more than 50 years, surprisingly little is known about bandleader, Joe Candullo. He was a regular on network radio, and he made more than 100 issued recordings. While the majority of his discs were released, from 1926 to 1929, Candullo was still in the studio, as late as 1954 (and possibly later). He was leading a popular orchestra at the Everglades, a restaurant on 46th Street and Broadway, in New York City. It was with this band that Candullo made his first recordings, on February 23, 1926. By April 1927, Joe Candullo and His Everglades Orchestra were making their first radio broadcasts over WMCA, in New York. (Collective Personnel: Red Nichols, Jimmy Dorsey, Jimmy McPartland, Glenn Miller, Mike Mosiello, Nick Farrara, Ray Bauduc, Sylvester Ahola, Irving Kaufman, Fud Livingston, more)

BIG BAND, SWING, TRAD JAZZ :Max Kaminsky led a long and varied life in jazz, playing at one time or another with the greatest musicians in jazz history. This collection includes Brad Gowans, Pee Wee Russell, Joe Sullivan, Eddie Condon, Al Morgan and George Wettling and more.

BIG BAND, SWING, TRAD JAZZ :[1927-1930] Though widely known for his good looks and athleticism, Bernie Cummins was even more highly regarded for his talent as a bandleader. His many recordings (beginning with Gennett in 1924) and his frequent radio broadcasts made him one of the most recognized bandleaders in the country. His ability to perform popular sweet numbers as effectively as his hot dance tunes made him a favorite among wide audiences, from the 1920s to the 1940s. This collection of recordings has been selected from the best of his Brunswick and Victor sessions, which were released under the name of Bernie Cummins and His Orchestra, Bernie Cummins and His Rose Room Orchestra and Bernie Cummins and His New York Biltmore Orchestra. Together, they echo the same energy and excitement as the radios, running boards and DC-3's that have come to symbolize the era.(Personnel: Paul Roberts, Karl Radlach, Walter Cummins, Paul Blakely)

BIG BAND, SWING, TRAD JAZZ :[1926-1928] The complete recordings of Nat Shilkret's All Star Orchestra. Featuring Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller and Jimmy McPartland. With Miff Mole, Joe Venuti, Carl Kress, Johnny Marvin and Chauncey Morehouse. In all, the All Star Orchestra made 18 recordings, from December 1927 to November 1929. Of these, 16 were released. While jazz enthusiasts will find much that is significant in these recordings, there are two which stand out above the others. These are the recordings of 'I'm More Than Satisfied' and 'Oh, Baby!' Both were recorded on March 21, 1928. The session was Benny Goodman's first, in New York. It was also the very first time that Benny Goodman recorded with Tommy Dorsey. At first glance, the band's name might appear to be just another case of over-used hyperbole. Except among those who were most acquainted with the band's members, this might have seemed the case, even in 1928 and 1929. But looking back, today, we know that Nat Shilkret kept the band true to its name. For it was, in fact, an All Star Orchestra. (Personnel: Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Jimmy McPartland, Miff Mole, Joe Venuti, Carl Kress, Johnny Marvin, Chauncey Morehouse).

bluegrass, folk, acoustic, americana, country:Poor Man's Whiskey plays American Acidgrass, a blend of acoustic music shaken with rock-n-roll attitude. Through fermentation and distillation, they've crafted an original and modern American music that inspires you to move. "Poor Man's Whiskey is one of the hottest bluegrass bands to emerge from Sonoma County in years." - Larry Carlin, Bluegrass Gold

rock, pop, rockabilly, country:Featuring the roots guitar virtuosity of Bill Kirchen, Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen produced some of the finest country boogie, rockabilly, honky tonk & western swing of the 1970s, and managed to have a Top 10 hit along the way with "Hot Rod Lincoln". All the Commander Cody great ones are packed together in this fine Akarma digipak.

blues, jazz:"These guys stop at nothing, rockin' Jerry Lee-meets-Louis Jordan style on one of the most relentless records to show its face in recent months." - College Music Journal "Comparable to classic recordings by the young Jerry Lee Lewis." - Keyboard.

rock, rockabilly, rhythm & blues, country:Recorded live at Armadillo World Headquaters in Austin, Texas. Recorded at the legendary Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, TX, this 1973 concert captures a young Commander Cody, hearty and energetic, able to traverse rockabilly, Western swing, jump blues, and honky-tonk in a single bound. This quintessential live recording features the classic version of the band, which included guitarist Bill Kirchen (who'd later embark on an impressive solo career). Cody and the boys are at their best here, whether spitting out spirited rockabilly ("Good Rockin' Tonight"), indulging in some hippie/stoner humor ("Down to Seeds & Stems Again Blues"), or even adding a Cajun touch ("Diggy Liggy Lo"). Toward the end of the disc, the band launches into its unofficial theme song, "Too Much Fun," with all the emotional commitment of "The National Anthem," and of course, much more fun. When wading throught the confusing waters of Cody's many live albums from various eras, fans are recommended to begin with this one.

rock, rhythm & blues, country:This was the debut album by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen. LOST IN THE OZONE was released in 1971, after the band moved to San Francisco from Michigan. The group's mix of Western swing, country, rockabilly, and novelty songs was not typical of the Haight-Ashbury music scene. In retrospect, this album, with its earthy mix of assorted genres culled from the early days of rock & roll, seems to have been ahead of its time. They only other Bay Area band similar to them at the time was the New Riders of the Purple Sage, but that group had more of a country-inflected sound. On LOST IN THE OZONE, this outfit rollicks in the best possible ways. They sometimes sound like they're on the verge of tipping over ("Wine Do Yer Stuff"), while other times come across as achingly earnest ("Daddy's Gonna Treat You Right"). "Hot Rod Lincoln" became a hit for Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen and helped put them on the map. This album and its three successors (recorded with the original lineup) are all examples of top-notch American roots music.
